I wouldn't name a kid this. I'm sure that they'd be teased, and people may not take them seriously. It really does sound like the publishing company. When I first saw it, I didn't even think it was a real name.

In theory, this should be a nice name: it flows well, it has an interesting meaning, and it has many potential nicknames. However, because of the name's resemblance to the word scholar, and because of the publishing company, this name seems somewhat tacky and forced to me.

I think this is a beautiful name. I took it as my Confirmation name after St. Scholastica. I know it can sound smart or snobby based on today's culture but, it is very sophisticated, a quite lovely actually. Admittedly a bit of a mouthful but, nicknames like Sola or Lassie can shorten it.
